also i want to add my door is recessed into the cabinet 3/4"   meaning its not flush with the edges of the cabinet.

It's funny, I bought the same hinge, and have the same problem... the clue is the cabinet door is recessed in... so is mine.  I broke two of these hinges trying to get the door open.  I decided that not having the door open fully would be fine for me.  I also removed the springs (the little silver bullet thing) which helped getting the door open about 75 degrees.  These hinges are meant to be on the edge, so I would do like clickhea has, and put a board down the side on the inside where the hinges go to make it more like what it is supposed to open like.

go with the second hinge that i used pictured above
